Cycling.
The 7 km Brock Trail is paved, non-motorized, and runs along Brockville's St. Lawrence waterfront, passing through Canada's first railway tunnel, around Blockhouse Island, and through Hardy and Rotary parks before tracing Buell's Creek north.
Newer extensions add a westbound link to St. Lawrence Park and a northbound link to Mac Johnson Wildlife Area.
The brief.
The Brock Trail is the cycling spine — flat, paved, and free of motorized traffic, suited to road bikes, e-bikes, and family riding. Brockville is a documented community on the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, and the city stretch threads the Tunnel, Blockhouse Island, the Aquatarium, and Hardy Park before continuing along Buell's Creek.
The Brockville Road Runners Club has installed distance markers along the trail. The northbound extension to Mac Johnson Wildlife Area opens a longer ride from downtown into the conservation-area trail network.
Best season is May through October; the trail is paved and stays accessible into shoulder season.
